  • Top notch podcast for pediatric dietitians

    The CPNP group is possibly the best resource for dietitians in the clinical pediatric space. If not a member, consider it! This podcast is just one of the many excellent resources provided by this group and NASPGHAN. Every episode has discussions on relevant topics from true professionals in the space. I can agree with another review that there could be more diversity, however, the field of dietetics truly lacks that as a whole. Can’t recommend this enough!

  • Amazing Content! Need for Diversity

    I love the content, but there is a huge need for diversity. The field of dietetics is dominated by white women. To patients, this appears as this population being the only group to deliver nutrition messages. This podcast has the ability to challenge this stereotype by having more diverse speakers.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Episode 54 - Megan Van Hoorn - Bonus Episode Pediatric Enteral Nutrition Q&A: Special Populations
Q: Okay, Megan, so when you're thinking about a special population, in particular children with low energy needs, how do you determine fluid and electrolyte goals for these children if they're exclusively enterally fed?
The fluid goal often starts around 80 percent of maintenance needs using the Holiday Seeger weight, with adjustments up to 100 percent if needed. We consider constipation, family input, and monitor urine or urine specific gravity to biochemically confirm hydration status. For electrolytes, a minimum of 2 mEq/kg of sodium is used as a target, with urine sodium checks if growth or sodium intake is concerns; growth monitoring remains essential.
Episode 56 - Bonus Episode - The Many Hats of a Research Dietitian
Q: What advice would you give to dietitians interested in doing more research?
Seek formal training in research methods and consider part-time hospital roles in research centers to gain hands-on experience, with mentorship from experienced professionals to guide your growth.
Episode 56 - Bonus Episode - The Many Hats of a Research Dietitian
Q: What does your day-to-day schedule look like in your role as a research dietitian?
A typical day involves coordinating recruitment across sites, communicating with families, monitoring study schedules, and then analyzing nutritional data, diary entries, and macronutrient patterns once the study is ongoing or completed.
Episode 34 - Megan Horsley - Weaning Enteral Nutrition in Patients after Complex Heart Surgery
Q: How are you assessing nutrition status in these infants with complex cardiac histories?
We use nutrition-focused physical exams, body composition tools like InBody, mid-upper arm circumference, and routine metabolic cards; edema, micronutrient markers, wound healing, and essential fatty acid signs are all monitored to guide planning, with fluid shifts tracked via body water analysis when possible.
Episode 45 - Sarah Vermilyea - Nutrition in Children with Complex Health History
Q: How do you handle planning when the patient already has a tube feeding regimen in place?
You respect existing regimens, use a comprehensive intake history, consider changes gradually, and monitor closely while balancing medical constraints and family preferences.
